- Vasily Andreyevich! I want to serve for a good future! By my pen. I wrote the Comedy, which aims to eradicate vices and show the benefits of audits, which were organized throughout all the Russia. Some of the writers, - very famous, - are mentioned.

- Thanks, Nikolai Vasilievich that have arrived on a visit! - Zhukovsky have politely told . - There is a big need now for a young, talented people! Several days will be required on reading, on formality. Then - the premiere of your comedy. And you are waited right now by the director of the central printing house, very much he wishes to get acquainted with you. My carriage will give a ride to you.

Gogol thanked him, gave Zhukovsky manuscript and leaved his house.

Then he have thought a little, he have taken away the fee, and he have gone to Rome.

And in St. Petersburg the theatrical performance of "The New Government Inspector" was already prepared. Who is the author of this "The New Government Inspector" - full clarity still isn't present.

Gogol those times began to write "Dead souls". In Rome.

1. The Sketch about the famous ballerina and the reciter of Hamlet

The famous ballerina walked along one of the central streets.

She has seen the boy. The boy stood and read in English of Hamlet (The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet, is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare).

Some of the passers-by were throwing in a bag next to the boy, coin or banknote.

The kind ballerina has approached the boy and has put in a bag some banknote.

On the periphery of consciousness, the thought was: "no administration, no directorate, no theatrical squabbles."

"What if to go past the theater?" - the famous ballerina with irony has thought of herself.

The young woman has risen from the bench standing nearby. In her hand she was holding an open book. The woman approached the famous ballerina:

- We know You. Heard about You much. Even somehow involuntarily we watch Your life.

- Yes Yes! - the famous ballerina joined the situation. - I know you, too. In absentia. Surname is ... historical.

- Many thanks for your attention to Shakespeare's artwork, - the young woman has spoken.

- World culture! - the famous ballerina has answered.

- He opened a window out to Europe! - a young woman noticed. And clarified:

-I hear, that You have a period of peculiar worries now.

- Mm ... - the famous ballerina has reluctantly answered. - What Your affairs?

- Yes, we are, too... - the young woman has nodded.

- I'm going to stay above this and preserve my dignity, - the famous ballerina noted.

- Mm... Yes, we are, too... - a young woman agreed.

The ballerina and the young woman have kindly said goodbye.

- It's good to be a ballerina. But it's difficult! - noticed one of the passers-by to another.

- And for the reciters of Hamlet not easily, - chuckled his companion.

- There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio...- the immortal words were flying above the street.
